Taiko no Tatsujin - Sangaria

Ichi, ni, Sangaria!

The past few months have been pretty good to Taiko fans, with candy crossovers, McDonalds toys and now the extremely limited run of Sangaria soft drinks.

Promoting healthy (or healthier) soft drinks, the Osaka based beverage company is relatively small compared to monster companies such as Kirin and Suntory. However this latest run is helping to reaffirm itself as the fun party brand. 

Their slogan "Ichi, ni, Sangria!" Is a play on the Japanese words "one, two, three" (ichi, ni, san).

Oishi-Don!

Hell yeah want!

GAO - Shinjuku, Kabukicho

5 years fumbling aroun Tokyo completely missed this one.

Tucked away on a side street in Kabukicho, chances are most visitors will miss this place simply trying to avoid sex touts in the area. Nevertheless, definitely worth searching out.

Tekken, Street Fighter and Taiko are pretty much the only things going on gamewise, but overwhelmingly you're going to want to check this place out just for the competition. Located in the heart of Kabukicho means that scouts, hosts and hostesses all come here during lunch breaks to game - and they are all good. Real good. Personally it's the most authentic of gaming experiences to go head to head with a dude in a tuxedo playing claw on Street Fighter. Or an Anna/Nina player in an evening gown.

Definitely worth supporting - 4 songs on Taiko for 100¥ is phenomenally good value for money.

Arcade "Namco" - Nakano, Tokyo

Hell of a spacious and well thought out floor space makes this an awesome place to game. Definitely supporting the UFO catcher scene first and foremost but also have every current Namco cab on release too.

Central Tokyo arcades have a tendency to over-cab their places leading to a lot of distractions while playing. Blows trying to focus whilst gettin nudged in the back.

Being a Namco arcade they also hold fortnightly tournaments to keep things fresh, hygienic and non-smoking areas make it a cert for our upcoming meet ups.
